Panel 2 misses one of the attractive points of hiking for me: a healthier sense of perspective. When you can experience the vastness of wilderness and realize your relatively microscopic relationship to such an overwhelming scale, you can begin to realize your little rat-race anxieties down below are something you can shed entirely.
Also if you don’t look down you miss out on a lot of the beauty as well. The big picture is often beautiful, but the little things that create the big picture are worth admiring as well.

The view is the thing you earned. Definitely take it in.
